175 years of photography of Rotterdam
Bold, cheeky, dynamic, modern: Rotterdam ain’t afraid of no one. Again and again this city has been turned upside down, in a continuous process of demolition, (re)construction and expansion. Always forward! With the enormous port acting as a driving force for its economy and social life, Rotterdam holds a unique position within the Netherlands. High-rise architecture, space, water and wind determine the character of this multicultural, international city that longs to be a metropolis.
The unique photographs, including work by Andór von Barsy, Marrie Bot, Kim Bouvy, Georg Hendrik Breitner, Wally Elenbaas, Carel van Hees, Peter Martens, Carl Emil Mögle, Kees Molkenboer, Cas Oorthuys, Pieter Oosterhuis, Bas Princen, Frits J. Rotgans and Paul Schuitema, make Rotterdam in the Picture a book that every died-in-the-wool Rotterdam lover will want to have.
